Chapters
If you’d like to read about what’s happened in my life since I left the world of porn production and surrendered my life to God, feel free to read through these archived posts.
This is a list of all of the blog entries I’ve written, starting with the first blog entry where I go public with my decision to surrender my life to God. These are the “chapters” of my blog, so to speak, listed in the order in which I wrote them. If you want the full story, click on link #1 and just continue through each blog entry.

oh man, what am i gonna do to procrastinate studying now?
You astound me, my friend! I love your transparency as you relate stories about living as a real Christian in a real world. I have read a few chapters and will make sure to finish them all and maybe comment on a few of them later. But anyway thanks for being so real, you are in no way nuts and lots of the things you observe about Christians and Christianity are all too true…I also see your genuine love for Christ shine through. Keep on keepin’ on! ~ aka radar
